Can you sort Google News results by date?
To configure search results sorting:
Click on Results sorting. By default, sorting by Relevance and Date will already be available. If that's all you need, just click the slider to make sure Results sorting is On.
How do I get Google to show most recent results?
Hit the Tools button under the search bar. You should see two dropdowns appear, labeled Recent and Sort by Relevance. Both of these search by date tools can help you narrow things down. The first limits your SERP to a limited period; you can select Past 24 hours to find sites updated within the last 24 hours.
